The Coast Guard’s announcement today, greenlighting multiple projects that will substantially upgrade operations at Base Charleston, is welcome news. It is imperative this base has the necessary tools to protect South Carolina’s coastline and prevent deadly drugs, such as fentanyl, from reaching our shores.
These projects were made possible by the One Big Beautiful Bill’s generational funding for the Coast Guard.
I was proud to help @POTUS advance this legislation through the Senate, and I’m pleased that this funding is directly supporting members of the Coast Guard serving in South Carolina.

Analysis Summary
The Coast Guard did announce $212 million in upgrades for Base Charleston today, funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The issue: Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced this, and sources credit her advocacy — Graham is not mentioned in any coverage. Graham's claim to have 'helped advance this legislation' takes personal credit for a colleague's project announcement without acknowledgment. The upgrades are real and well-sourced, but the framing misattributes the credit.
